October marks National Women’s Small Business Month, a time to honor and celebrate the contributions of women-led businesses that continue to break barriers, lead with innovation, and create economic opportunities. Badie Designs, a woman-owned creative agency is committed to working with women-led small businesses and advocating for their success. We are honored to partner with visionary women like Charla Ellis of Elcap Mortgage, Dr. Brewster of Mind at Rest Research Lab, and Stacey Key of the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council (GMSDC). These trailblazers are not only reshaping their respective fields but are also fostering inclusive environments that empower communities.
As the founder and CEO of Elcap Mortgage, Charla Ellis stands at the forefront of helping individuals and families navigate the complex world of home financing. With a focus on personalized service, Elcap Mortgage provides tailored solutions to ensure clients make informed decisions about their mortgages. Charla’s commitment to transparency, integrity, and exceptional customer care sets her apart as a trusted leader in the mortgage industry.
Under Charla’s leadership, Elcap Mortgage has created opportunities for clients who may have been underserved in traditional mortgage markets. By offering a range of products designed to meet diverse financial needs, Charla ensures homeownership is accessible to more people. Her vision is more than closing deals—she empowers families to build wealth and security for their futures.
Dr. Brewster, the driving force behind Mind AtRest Research Lab, is revolutionizing the mental health area through innovative research and practical solutions. The lab’s mission is to create accessible, research-based resources that improve mental well-being and address the growing mental health crisis. Dr. Brewster’s work is rooted in scientific research, but it is deeply personal, focusing on providing relief for those suffering from stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.
Her leadership in mental health advocacy, coupled with a keen focus on research, is breaking down barriers to care. Mind At Rest Research Lab conducts groundbreaking studies and translates findings into actionable programs that benefit individuals and communities alike. Through Dr. Brewster’s efforts, the lab is changing the conversation around mental health and making care more accessible for everyone.
Stacey Key, the president and CEO of the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council (GMSDC), has spent years advocating for supplier diversity with minority business enterprises (MBEs). Under Stacey’s leadership, GMSDC has become a major force in certifying, preparing, and connecting MBEs to corporate opportunities. Her work ensures diverse businesses have the tools and opportunities to succeed in today’s competitive markets.
Stacey’s diligent efforts have empowered countless small businesses to grow and thrive, fostering economic inclusion. Through GMSDC, Stacey leads initiatives that bridge the gap between minority suppliers and corporations, helping to build meaningful and sustainable partnerships. Her role as an advocate for supplier diversity is not just a job; it’s a mission to ensure economic equity and opportunity for all.
As a woman-owned business, Badie Designs is proud to uplift and support women entrepreneurs who drive positive change in their industries.
